Scoring strategies and technique

[xdwingdx]

Thank goodness I finely found this forum. I love Tilt. high score is like, 158 million? it was a 9.5 minute game. Been able to score over 100 million maybe like 3 times.


anyways, what strategies do you use to create a high score?

for me, i go for the worst weapons to start. red bombs, green shields, shoot the purpler laser off to the side. basically trying to get 4 good weapons on the screen.

Also at the beginning, i avoid killing red dots. if you start killing right away, you run out of dots and your combo dies.

SO i try to let the screen fill up with some dots, have good weapons all lined up, then try to go for the longest combo i can.

I guess my main question is, do some weapons provide better combo points? the multiplier is:
some number on the left X dead dots.

What is the best way to get the first number big?

like, if you have the blades, is it a bad move to shoot the screen with a purple laser? does killing dots with one weapon more valuable then others?

Basically, i would want to try and kill as many dots as i could with the best scoring weapon. as it stands, i have no idea which weapon would be best.

Thanks for any input or tips you might have
